PHOTO INDEX

Welcome to The Gloster Birder Photo Index. As the former Gallery pages took up at lot of webspace and there are now large numbers of photos on the site I thought this index would enable you to find all your favourite photos easily. Initially the index includes all photos from the Sightings, Diary and Gallery pages but will eventually extend to cover all the Trip Reports as well. They range from record shots (usually mine) to excellent portraits worth a second look. I hope you find this useful, its nice to just click on a link and find those favourites easily. I hope you enjoy the index and will let me know if you have any feedback at the usual address.

I am indebted to all of the following photographers who have submitted photos to the site since its beginning in August 2000: (alphabetically) Andrew Bluett, Gavin Black, Paul Bowerman, Ian Boyd, Steve Brown, Frank Bryant, Pam Bryant, Paul Bryant, Colin Butters, Andrew Carey, Richard Cawsey, Richard Chappell, Allan Chard, Malcolm Collins, Gary Cox, Graham Cox, Terry Dabner, Janet and John Datchens, Duncan Dine, Ian Elphick, John Fairburn, Terry Fenton, Mike Fox, Chris Grady, Derek Hale, Nic Hallam, Fred Hobson, Mark Hobson, Gordon Hodgson, Nick Holland, Mike Jefferies, Phil Jefferies, Ennis Jones, Vince Jones, Bridgette King, Michael King, Mike King, Sheryl La Bouchardiere, James Lees, Ian Lewington, Kev Lewis, Lewis Thomson, Martin McGill, Ben Macdonald, Simon Mackie, John Martin, Paul Masters, Julia Newth, Richard Newton, David Pearce, Rob Phillips, Phil Pope, Richard Price, Ian Ralphs, Lee Rogers, John Sanders, Gerry Shilham, Roy Shilham, Bob Shiret, David Slater, Neil Smart, Mike Smith, Lewis Thomson, Alan Wadsworth, Roger Wasley, Graham Watson, John Wells, Doug Whitlock and Steve and Sue Wilce.
